Both "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" by Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel's "Boléro" showcase rich orchestration and a strong emphasis on rhythm. Each piece builds atmosphere through repetitive motifs and harmonic exploration, creating a sense of movement and evolution. Additionally, both works evoke sensuality and a dreamlike quality, engaging listeners with their lush melodies and tonal colors. Despite their distinct styles, they share an impressionistic approach to music that emphasizes mood and impression over traditional structure.
